VkResult - Vulkan command return codes

Description

• SUCCESS Command successfully completed
• NOT_READY A fence or query has not yet completed
• TIMEOUT A wait operation has not completed in the specified time
• EVENT_SET An event is signaled
• EVENT_RESET An event is unsignaled
• INCOMPLETE A return array was too small for the result
• SUBOPTIMAL_KHR A swapchain no longer matches the surface properties exactly, but can still be used to present to the surface successfully.

• ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY A host memory allocation has failed.
• ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY A device memory allocation has failed.
• ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED Initialization of an object could not be completed for implementation-specific reasons.
• ERROR_DEVICE_LOST The logical or physical device has been lost. See Lost Device
• ERROR_MEMORY_MAP_FAILED Mapping of a memory object has failed.
• ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT A requested layer is not present or could not be loaded.
• ERROR_EXTENSION_NOT_PRESENT A requested extension is not supported.
• ERROR_FEATURE_NOT_PRESENT A requested feature is not supported.
• ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER The requested version of Vulkan is not supported by the driver or is otherwise incompatible for implementation-specific reasons.
• ERROR_TOO_MANY_OBJECTS Too many objects of the type have already been created.
• ERROR_FORMAT_NOT_SUPPORTED A requested format is not supported on this device.
• ERROR_FRAGMENTED_POOL A pool allocation has failed due to fragmentation of the pool’s memory. This must only be returned if no attempt to allocate host or device memory was made to accommodate the new allocation. This should be returned in preference to ERROR_OUT_OF_POOL_MEMORY, but only if the implementation is certain that the pool allocation failure was due to fragmentation.
• ERROR_SURFACE_LOST_KHR A surface is no longer available.
• ERROR_NATIVE_WINDOW_IN_USE_KHR The requested window is already in use by Vulkan or another API in a manner which prevents it from being used again.
• ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR A surface has changed in such a way that it is no longer compatible with the swapchain, and further presentation requests using the swapchain will fail. Applications must query the new surface properties and recreate their swapchain if they wish to continue presenting to the surface.
• ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DISPLAY_KHR The display used by a swapchain does not use the same presentable image layout, or is incompatible in a way that prevents sharing an image.
• ERROR_INVALID_SHADER_NV One or more shaders failed to compile or link. More details are reported back to the application via VK_EXT_debug_report if enabled.
• ERROR_OUT_OF_POOL_MEMORY A pool memory allocation has failed. This must only be returned if no attempt to allocate host or device memory was made to accommodate the new allocation. If the failure was definitely due to fragmentation of the pool, ERROR_FRAGMENTED_POOL should be returned instead.
• ERROR_INVALID_EXTERNAL_HANDLE An external handle is not a valid handle of the specified type.
• ERROR_FRAGMENTATION_EXT A descriptor pool creation has failed due to fragmentation.
• ERROR_INVALID_DEVICE_ADDRESS_EXT A buffer creation failed because the requested address is not available.
• ERROR_FULL_SCREEN_EXCLUSIVE_MODE_LOST_EXT An operation on a swapchain created with FULL_SCREEN_EXCLUSIVE_APPLICATION_CONTROLLED_EXT failed as it did not have exlusive full-screen access. This may occur due to implementation-dependent reasons, outside of the application’s control.

If a command returns a run time error, unless otherwise specified any output parameters will have undefined contents, except that if the output parameter is a structure with sType and pNext fields, those fields will be unmodified. Any structures chained from pNext will also have undefined contents, except that sType and pNext will be unmodified.

Out of memory errors do not damage any currently existing Vulkan objects. Objects that have already been successfully created can still be used by the application.

Performance-critical commands generally do not have return codes. If a run time error occurs in such commands, the implementation will defer reporting the error until a specified point. For commands that record into command buffers (vkCmd*) run time errors are reported by vkEndCommandBuffer.

VkStructureType - Vulkan structure types (stype)

Description

Each value corresponds to a particular structure with a sType member with a matching name. As a general rule, the name of each VkStructureType value is obtained by taking the name of the structure, stripping the leading Vk, prefixing each capital letter with _, converting the entire resulting string to upper case, and prefixing it with VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_. For example, structures of type VkImageCreateInfo correspond to a VkStructureType of STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMAGE_CREATE_INFO, and thus its sType member must equal that when it is passed to the API.

The values STRUCTURE_TYPE_LOADER_INSTANCE_CREATE_INFO and STRUCTURE_TYPE_LOADER_DEVICE_CREATE_INFO are reserved for internal use by the loader, and do not have corresponding Vulkan structures in this Specification.

VkSystemAllocationScope - Allocation scope

Description

• SYSTEM_ALLOCATION_SCOPE_COMMAND specifies that the allocation is scoped to the duration of the Vulkan command.
• SYSTEM_ALLOCATION_SCOPE_OBJECT specifies that the allocation is scoped to the lifetime of the Vulkan object that is being created or used.
• SYSTEM_ALLOCATION_SCOPE_CACHE specifies that the allocation is scoped to the lifetime of a VkPipelineCache or VkValidationCacheEXT object.
• SYSTEM_ALLOCATION_SCOPE_DEVICE specifies that the allocation is scoped to the lifetime of the Vulkan device.
• SYSTEM_ALLOCATION_SCOPE_INSTANCE specifies that the allocation is scoped to the lifetime of the Vulkan instance.

Most Vulkan commands operate on a single object, or there is a sole object that is being created or manipulated. When an allocation uses an allocation scope of SYSTEM_ALLOCATION_SCOPE_OBJECT or SYSTEM_ALLOCATION_SCOPE_CACHE, the allocation is scoped to the object being created or manipulated.

When an implementation requires host memory, it will make callbacks to the application using the most specific allocator and allocation scope available:

• If an allocation is scoped to the duration of a command, the allocator will use the SYSTEM_ALLOCATION_SCOPE_COMMAND allocation scope. The most specific allocator available is used: if the object being created or manipulated has an allocator, that object’s allocator will be used, else if the parent VkDevice has an allocator it will be used, else if the parent VkInstance has an allocator it will be used. Else,
• If an allocation is associated with an object of type VkValidationCacheEXT or VkPipelineCache, the allocator will use the SYSTEM_ALLOCATION_SCOPE_CACHE allocation scope. The most specific allocator available is used (cache, else device, else instance). Else,
• If an allocation is scoped to the lifetime of an object, that object is being created or manipulated by the command, and that object’s type is not VkDevice or VkInstance, the allocator will use an allocation scope of SYSTEM_ALLOCATION_SCOPE_OBJECT. The most specific allocator available is used (object, else device, else instance). Else,
• If an allocation is scoped to the lifetime of a device, the allocator will use an allocation scope of SYSTEM_ALLOCATION_SCOPE_DEVICE. The most specific allocator available is used (device, else instance). Else,
• If the allocation is scoped to the lifetime of an instance and the instance has an allocator, its allocator will be used with an allocation scope of SYSTEM_ALLOCATION_SCOPE_INSTANCE.
• Otherwise an implementation will allocate memory through an alternative mechanism that is unspecified.

• FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_FILTER_LINEAR_BIT specifies that if FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT is also set, an image view can be used with a sampler that has either of magFilter or minFilter set to FILTER_LINEAR, or mipmapMode set to SAMPLER_MIPMAP_MODE_LINEAR. If FORMAT_FEATURE_BLIT_SRC_BIT is also set, an image can be used as the srcImage to CmdBlitImage with a filter of FILTER_LINEAR. This bit must only be exposed for formats that also support the FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_BIT or FORMAT_FEATURE_BLIT_SRC_BIT. If the format being queried is a depth/stencil format, this bit only specifies that the depth aspect (not the stencil aspect) of an image of this format supports linear filtering, and that linear filtering of the depth aspect is supported whether depth compare is enabled in the sampler or not. If this bit is not present, linear filtering with depth compare disabled is unsupported and linear filtering with depth compare enabled is supported, but may compute the filtered value in an implementation-dependent manner which differs from the normal rules of linear filtering. The resulting value must be in the range [0,1] and should be proportional to, or a weighted average of, the number of comparison passes or failures.

Otherwise both xChromaOffset and yChromaOffset must be CHROMA_LOCATION_COSITED_EVEN. If a format does not incorporate chroma downsampling (it is not a “422” or “420” format) but the implementation supports sampler Y’C_BC_R conversion for this format, the implementation must set FORMAT_FEATURE_MIDPOINT_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT.
• FORMAT_FEATURE_COSITED_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT specifies that an application can define a sampler Y’C_BC_R conversion using this format as a source, and that an image of this format can be used with a VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo xChromaOffset and/or yChromaOffset of CHROMA_LOCATION_COSITED_EVEN. Otherwise both xChromaOffset and yChromaOffset must be CHROMA_LOCATION_MIDPOINT. If neither FORMAT_FEATURE_COSITED_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT nor FORMAT_FEATURE_MIDPOINT_CHROMA_SAMPLES_BIT is set, the application must not define a sampler Y’C_BC_R conversion using this format as a source.
• FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_LINEAR_FILTER_BIT specifies that the format can do linear sampler filtering (min/magFilter) whilst sampler Y’C_BC_R conversion is enabled.

• FORMAT_FEATURE_SAMPLED_IMAGE_YCBCR_CONVERSION_CHROMA_RECONSTRUCTION_EXPLICIT_FORCEABLE_BIT specifies that reconstruction can be forcibly made explicit by setting VkSamplerYcbcrConversionCreateInfo::forceExplicitReconstruction to TRUE.
• FORMAT_FEATURE_DISJOINT_BIT specifies that a multi-planar image can have the IMAGE_CREATE_DISJOINT_BIT set during image creation. An implementation must not set FORMAT_FEATURE_DISJOINT_BIT for single-plane formats.
• FORMAT_FEATURE_FRAGMENT_DENSITY_MAP_BIT_EXT specifies that an image view can be used as a fragment density map attachment.

The following bits may be set in bufferFeatures, specifying that the features are supported by buffers or buffer views created with the queried GetPhysicalDeviceProperties::format:

• FORMAT_FEATURE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER_BIT specifies that the format can be used to create a buffer view that can be bound to a DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER descriptor.

VK_IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_RESIDENCY_BIT

VkImageCreateFlagBits - Bitmask specifying additional parameters of an image

Description

• IMAGE_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT specifies that the image will be backed using sparse memory binding.

• QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT specifies that queues in this queue family support compute operations.
• QUEUE_TRANSFER_BIT specifies that queues in this queue family support transfer operations.
• QUEUE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT specifies that queues in this queue family support sparse memory management operations (see Sparse Resources). If any of the sparse resource features are enabled, then at least one queue family must support this bit.
• if QUEUE_PROTECTED_BIT is set, then the queues in this queue family support the DEVICE_QUEUE_CREATE_PROTECTED_BIT bit. (see Protected Memory). If the protected memory physical device feature is supported, then at least one queue family of at least one physical device exposed by the implementation must support this bit.

If an implementation exposes any queue family that supports graphics operations, at least one queue family of at least one physical device exposed by the implementation must support both graphics and compute operations.

Furthermore, if the protected memory physical device feature is supported, then at least one queue family of at least one physical device exposed by the implementation must support graphics operations, compute operations, and protected memory operations.

Note

All commands that are allowed on a queue that supports transfer operations are also allowed on a queue that supports either graphics or compute operations. Thus, if the capabilities of a queue family include QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT or QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT, then reporting the QUEUE_TRANSFER_BIT capability separately for that queue family is optional:.

VkMemoryPropertyFlagBits - Bitmask specifying properties for a memory type

Description

• MEMORY_PROPERTY_DEVICE_LOCAL_BIT bit specifies that memory allocated with this type is the most efficient for device access. This property will be set if and only if the memory type belongs to a heap with the MEMORY_HEAP_DEVICE_LOCAL_BIT set.
• MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_VISIBLE_BIT bit specifies that memory allocated with this type can be mapped for host access using MapMemory.
• MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_COHERENT_BIT bit specifies that the host cache management commands FlushMappedMemoryRanges and InvalidateMappedMemoryRanges are not needed to flush host writes to the device or make device writes visible to the host, respectively.
• MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_CACHED_BIT bit specifies that memory allocated with this type is cached on the host. Host memory accesses to uncached memory are slower than to cached memory, however uncached memory is always host coherent.
• MEMORY_PROPERTY_LAZILY_ALLOCATED_BIT bit specifies that the memory type only allows device access to the memory. Memory types must not have both MEMORY_PROPERTY_LAZILY_ALLOCATED_BIT and MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_VISIBLE_BIT set. Additionally, the object’s backing memory may be provided by the implementation lazily as specified in Lazily Allocated Memory.
• MEMORY_PROPERTY_PROTECTED_BIT bit specifies that the memory type only allows device access to the memory, and allows protected queue operations to access the memory. Memory types must not have MEMORY_PROPERTY_PROTECTED_BIT set and any of MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_VISIBLE_BIT set, or MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_COHERENT_BIT set, or MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_CACHED_BIT set.
• MEMORY_PROPERTY_DEVICE_COHERENT_BIT_AMD bit specifies that device accesses to allocations of this memory type are automatically made available and visible.
• MEMORY_PROPERTY_DEVICE_UNCACHED_BIT_AMD bit specifies that memory allocated with this type is not cached on the device. Uncached device memory is always device coherent.

For any memory allocated with both the MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_COHERENT_BIT and the MEMORY_PROPERTY_DEVICE_COHERENT_BIT_AMD, host or device accesses also perform automatic memory domain transfer operations, such that writes are always automatically available and visible to both host and device memory domains.

Note

Device coherence is a useful property for certain debugging use cases (e.g. crash analysis, where performing separate coherence actions could mean values are not reported correctly). However, device coherent accesses may be slower than equivalent accesses without device coherence, particularly if they are also device uncached. For device uncached memory in particular, repeated accesses to the same or neighbouring memory locations over a short time period (e.g. within a frame) may be slower than it would be for the equivalent cached memory type. As such, it's generally inadvisable to use device coherent or device uncached memory except when really needed.

• PIPELINE_STAGE_FRAGMENT_DENSITY_PROCESS_BIT_EXT specifies the stage of the pipeline where the fragment density map is read to generate the fragment areas.

Note

An execution dependency with only PIPELINE_STAGE_BOTTOM_OF_PIPE_BIT in the destination stage mask will only prevent that stage from executing in subsequently submitted commands. As this stage does not perform any actual execution, this is not observable - in effect, it does not delay processing of subsequent commands. Similarly an execution dependency with only PIPELINE_STAGE_TOP_OF_PIPE_BIT in the source stage mask will effectively not wait for any prior commands to complete.

When defining a memory dependency, using only PIPELINE_STAGE_BOTTOM_OF_PIPE_BIT or PIPELINE_STAGE_TOP_OF_PIPE_BIT would never make any accesses available and/or visible because these stages do not access memory.

PIPELINE_STAGE_BOTTOM_OF_PIPE_BIT and PIPELINE_STAGE_TOP_OF_PIPE_BIT are useful for accomplishing layout transitions and queue ownership operations when the required execution dependency is satisfied by other means - for example, semaphore operations between queues.

VkQueryPipelineStatisticFlagBits - Bitmask specifying queried pipeline statistics

Description

• QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_INPUT_ASSEMBLY_VERTICES_BIT specifies that queries managed by the pool will count the number of vertices processed by the input assembly stage. Vertices corresponding to incomplete primitives may contribute to the count.
• QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_INPUT_ASSEMBLY_PRIMITIVES_BIT specifies that queries managed by the pool will count the number of primitives processed by the input assembly stage. If primitive restart is enabled, restarting the primitive topology has no effect on the count. Incomplete primitives may be counted.
• QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_VERTEX_SHADER_INVOCATIONS_BIT specifies that queries managed by the pool will count the number of vertex shader invocations. This counter’s value is incremented each time a vertex shader is invoked.
• QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_GEOMETRY_SHADER_INVOCATIONS_BIT specifies that queries managed by the pool will count the number of geometry shader invocations. This counter’s value is incremented each time a geometry shader is invoked. In the case of instanced geometry shaders, the geometry shader invocations count is incremented for each separate instanced invocation.
• QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_GEOMETRY_SHADER_PRIMITIVES_BIT specifies that queries managed by the pool will count the number of primitives generated by geometry shader invocations. The counter’s value is incremented each time the geometry shader emits a primitive. Restarting primitive topology using the SPIR-V instructions OpEndPrimitive or OpEndStreamPrimitive has no effect on the geometry shader output primitives count.
• QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_CLIPPING_INVOCATIONS_BIT specifies that queries managed by the pool will count the number of primitives processed by the Primitive Clipping stage of the pipeline. The counter’s value is incremented each time a primitive reaches the primitive clipping stage.
• QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_CLIPPING_PRIMITIVES_BIT specifies that queries managed by the pool will count the number of primitives output by the Primitive Clipping stage of the pipeline. The counter’s value is incremented each time a primitive passes the primitive clipping stage. The actual number of primitives output by the primitive clipping stage for a particular input primitive is implementation-dependent but must satisfy the following conditions:
  • If at least one vertex of the input primitive lies inside the clipping volume, the counter is incremented by one or more.
  • Otherwise, the counter is incremented by zero or more.
• QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_FRAGMENT_SHADER_INVOCATIONS_BIT specifies that queries managed by the pool will count the number of fragment shader invocations. The counter’s value is incremented each time the fragment shader is invoked.
• QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_TESSELLATION_CONTROL_SHADER_PATCHES_BIT specifies that queries managed by the pool will count the number of patches processed by the tessellation control shader. The counter’s value is incremented once for each patch for which a tessellation control shader is invoked.
• QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_TESSELLATION_EVALUATION_SHADER_INVOCATIONS_BIT specifies that queries managed by the pool will count the number of invocations of the tessellation evaluation shader. The counter’s value is incremented each time the tessellation evaluation shader is invoked.
• QUERY_PIPELINE_STATISTIC_COMPUTE_SHADER_INVOCATIONS_BIT specifies that queries managed by the pool will count the number of compute shader invocations. The counter’s value is incremented every time the compute shader is invoked. Implementations may skip the execution of certain compute shader invocations or execute additional compute shader invocations for implementation-dependent reasons as long as the results of rendering otherwise remain unchanged.

These values are intended to measure relative statistics on one implementation. Various device architectures will count these values differently. Any or all counters may be affected by the issues described in Query Operation.

Note

For example, tile-based rendering devices may need to replay the scene multiple times, affecting some of the counts.

If a pipeline has rasterizerDiscardEnable enabled, implementations may discard primitives after the final vertex processing stage. As a result, if rasterizerDiscardEnable is enabled, the clipping input and output primitives counters may not be incremented.

When a pipeline statistics query finishes, the result for that query is marked as available. The application can copy the result to a buffer (via vkCmdCopyQueryPoolResults), or request it be put into host memory (via vkGetQueryPoolResults).

• BUFFER_CREATE_SPARSE_ALIASED_BIT specifies that the buffer will be backed using sparse memory binding with memory ranges that might also simultaneously be backing another buffer (or another portion of the same buffer). Buffers created with this flag must also be created with the BUFFER_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT flag.
• BUFFER_CREATE_PROTECTED_BIT specifies that the buffer is a protected buffer.
• BUFFER_CREATE_DEVICE_ADDRESS_CAPTURE_REPLAY_BIT_EXT specifies that the buffer’s address can be saved and reused on a subsequent run (e.g. for trace capture and replay), see VkBufferDeviceAddressCreateInfoEXT for more detail.

VK_SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE, VK_SHARING_MODE_CONCURRENT

VkSharingMode - Buffer and image sharing modes

Description

• SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE specifies that access to any range or image subresource of the object will be exclusive to a single queue family at a time.
• SHARING_MODE_CONCURRENT specifies that concurrent access to any range or image subresource of the object from multiple queue families is supported.

Note

SHARING_MODE_CONCURRENT may result in lower performance access to the buffer or image than SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE.

Ranges of buffers and image subresources of image objects created using SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE must only be accessed by queues in the queue family that has ownership of the resource. Upon creation, such resources are not owned by any queue family; ownership is implicitly acquired upon first use within a queue. Once a resource using SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE is owned by some queue family, the application must perform a queue family ownership transfer to make the memory contents of a range or image subresource accessible to a different queue family.

Note

Images still require a layout transition from IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED or IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED before being used on the first queue.

A queue family can take ownership of an image subresource or buffer range of a resource created with SHARING_MODE_EXCLUSIVE, without an ownership transfer, in the same way as for a resource that was just created; however, taking ownership in this way has the effect that the contents of the image subresource or buffer range are undefined.

Ranges of buffers and image subresources of image objects created using SHARING_MODE_CONCURRENT must only be accessed by queues from the queue families specified through the queueFamilyIndexCount and pQueueFamilyIndices members of the corresponding create info structures.

VkImageLayout - Layout of image and image subresources

Description

The type(s) of device access supported by each layout are:

• IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED does not support device access. This layout must only be used as the initialLayout member of VkImageCreateInfo or VkAttachmentDescription, or as the oldLayout in an image transition. When transitioning out of this layout, the contents of the memory are not guaranteed to be preserved.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED does not support device access. This layout must only be used as the initialLayout member of VkImageCreateInfo or VkAttachmentDescription, or as the oldLayout in an image transition. When transitioning out of this layout, the contents of the memory are preserved. This layout is intended to be used as the initial layout for an image whose contents are written by the host, and hence the data can be written to memory immediately, without first executing a layout transition. Currently, IMAGE_LAYOUT_PREINITIALIZED is only useful with linear images because there is not a standard layout defined for IMAGE_TILING_OPTIMAL images.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_GENERAL supports all types of device access.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_OPTIMAL must only be used as a color or resolve attachment in a VkFramebuffer. This layout is valid only for image subresources of images created with the IMAGE_USAGE_COLOR_ATTACHMENT_BIT usage bit enabled.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_OPTIMAL must only be used as a depth/stencil or depth/stencil resolve attachment in a VkFramebuffer. This layout is valid only for image subresources of images created with the IMAGE_USAGE_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_BIT usage bit enabled.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_DEPTH_STENCIL_READ_ONLY_OPTIMAL must only be used as a read-only depth/stencil attachment in a VkFramebuffer and/or as a read-only image in a shader (which can be read as a sampled image, combined image/sampler and/or input attachment). This layout is valid only for image subresources of images created with the IMAGE_USAGE_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_BIT usage bit enabled. Only image views created with a usage value including IMAGE_USAGE_SAMPLED_BIT can be used as a sampled image or combined image/sampler in a shader. Similarly, only image views created with a usage value including IMAGE_USAGE_INPUT_ATTACHMENT_BIT can be used as input attachments.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_DEPTH_READ_ONLY_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_OPTIMAL: must only be used as a depth/stencil attachment in a VkFramebuffer, where the depth aspect is read-only, and/or as a read-only image in a shader (which can be read as a sampled image, combined image/sampler and/or input attachment) where only the depth aspect is accessed. This layout is valid only for image subresources of images created with the IMAGE_USAGE_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_BIT usage bit enabled. Only image views created with a usage value including IMAGE_USAGE_SAMPLED_BIT can be used as a sampled image or combined image/sampler in a shader. Similarly, only image views created with a usage value including IMAGE_USAGE_INPUT_ATTACHMENT_BIT can be used as input attachments.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT_STENCIL_READ_ONLY_OPTIMAL: must only be used as a depth/stencil attachment in a VkFramebuffer, where the stencil aspect is read-only, and/or as a read-only image in a shader (which can be read as a sampled image, combined image/sampler and/or input attachment) where only the stencil aspect is accessed. This layout is valid only for image subresources of images created with the IMAGE_USAGE_DEPTH_STENCIL_ATTACHMENT_BIT usage bit enabled. Only image views created with a usage value including IMAGE_USAGE_SAMPLED_BIT can be used as a sampled image or combined image/sampler in a shader. Similarly, only image views created with a usage value including IMAGE_USAGE_INPUT_ATTACHMENT_BIT can be used as input attachments.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_SHADER_READ_ONLY_OPTIMAL must only be used as a read-only image in a shader (which can be read as a sampled image, combined image/sampler and/or input attachment). This layout is valid only for image subresources of images created with the IMAGE_USAGE_SAMPLED_BIT or IMAGE_USAGE_INPUT_ATTACHMENT_BIT usage bit enabled.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_TRANSFER_SRC_OPTIMAL must only be used as a source image of a transfer command (see the definition of PIPELINE_STAGE_TRANSFER_BIT). This layout is valid only for image subresources of images created with the IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSFER_SRC_BIT usage bit enabled.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_TRANSFER_DST_OPTIMAL must only be used as a destination image of a transfer command. This layout is valid only for image subresources of images created with the IMAGE_USAGE_TRANSFER_DST_BIT usage bit enabled.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_PRESENT_SRC_KHR must only be used for presenting a presentable image for display. A swapchain’s image must be transitioned to this layout before calling QueuePresentKHR, and must be transitioned away from this layout after calling AcquireNextImageKHR.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_SHARED_PRESENT_KHR is valid only for shared presentable images, and must be used for any usage the image supports.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_SHADING_RATE_OPTIMAL_NV must only be used as a read-only shading-rate-image. This layout is valid only for image subresources of images created with the IMAGE_USAGE_SHADING_RATE_IMAGE_BIT_NV usage bit enabled.
• IMAGE_LAYOUT_FRAGMENT_DENSITY_MAP_OPTIMAL_EXT must only be used as a fragment density map attachment in a VkRenderPass. This layout is valid only for image subresources of images created with the IMAGE_USAGE_FRAGMENT_DENSITY_MAP_BIT_EXT usage bit enabled.

The layout of each image subresource is not a state of the image subresource itself, but is rather a property of how the data in memory is organized, and thus for each mechanism of accessing an image in the API the application must specify a parameter or structure member that indicates which image layout the image subresource(s) are considered to be in when the image will be accessed. For transfer commands, this is a parameter to the command (see Clear Commands and Copy Commands). For use as a framebuffer attachment, this is a member in the substructures of the VkRenderPassCreateInfo (see Render Pass). For use in a descriptor set, this is a member in the VkDescriptorImageInfo structure (see Descriptor Set Updates).

• COMPONENT_SWIZZLE_ZERO specifies that the component is set to zero.
• COMPONENT_SWIZZLE_ONE specifies that the component is set to either 1 or 1.0, depending on whether the type of the image view format is integer or floating-point respectively, as determined by the Format Definition section for each VkFormat.
• COMPONENT_SWIZZLE_R specifies that the component is set to the value of the R component of the image.
• COMPONENT_SWIZZLE_G specifies that the component is set to the value of the G component of the image.
• COMPONENT_SWIZZLE_B specifies that the component is set to the value of the B component of the image.
• COMPONENT_SWIZZLE_A specifies that the component is set to the value of the A component of the image.

VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_DISABLE_OPTIMIZATION_BIT, VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_ALLOW_DERIVATIVES_BIT, VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_DERIVATIVE_BIT

VkPipelineCreateFlagBits - Bitmask controlling how a pipeline is created

Description

• PIPELINE_CREATE_DISABLE_OPTIMIZATION_BIT specifies that the created pipeline will not be optimized. Using this flag may reduce the time taken to create the pipeline.
• PIPELINE_CREATE_ALLOW_DERIVATIVES_BIT specifies that the pipeline to be created is allowed to be the parent of a pipeline that will be created in a subsequent call to CreateGraphicsPipelines or CreateComputePipelines.
• PIPELINE_CREATE_DERIVATIVE_BIT specifies that the pipeline to be created will be a child of a previously created parent pipeline.
• PIPELINE_CREATE_VIEW_INDEX_FROM_DEVICE_INDEX_BIT specifies that any shader input variables decorated as ViewIndex will be assigned values as if they were decorated as DeviceIndex.
• PIPELINE_CREATE_DISPATCH_BASE specifies that a compute pipeline can be used with CmdDispatchBase with a non-zero base workgroup.
• PIPELINE_CREATE_DEFER_COMPILE_BIT_NV specifies that a pipeline is created with all shaders in the deferred state. Before using the pipeline the application must call CompileDeferredNV exactly once on each shader in the pipeline before using the pipeline.
• PIPELINE_CREATE_CAPTURE_STATISTICS_BIT_KHR specifies that the shader compiler should capture statistics for the executables produced by the compile process which can later be retrieved by calling GetPipelineExecutableStatisticsKHR. Enabling this flag must not affect the final compiled pipeline but may disable pipeline caching or otherwise affect pipeline creation time.
• PIPELINE_CREATE_CAPTURE_INTERNAL_REPRESENTATIONS_BIT_KHR specifies that the shader compiler should capture the internal representations of executables produced by the compile process which can later be retrieved by calling GetPipelineExecutableInternalRepresentationsKHR. Enabling this flag must not affect the final compiled pipeline but may disable pipeline caching or otherwise affect pipeline creation time.

It is valid to set both PIPELINE_CREATE_ALLOW_DERIVATIVES_BIT and PIPELINE_CREATE_DERIVATIVE_BIT. This allows a pipeline to be both a parent and possibly a child in a pipeline hierarchy. See Pipeline Derivatives for more information.

	Vertex Number	Sequence position of a vertex within the provided vertex data.
	Provoking Vertex	Provoking vertex within the main primitive. The arrow points along an edge of the relevant primitive, following winding order. Used in flat shading.
	Primitive Edge	An edge connecting the points of a main primitive.
	Adjacency Edge	Points connected by these lines do not contribute to a main primitive, and are only accessible in a geometry shader.
	Winding Order	The relative order in which vertices are defined within a primitive, used in the facing determination. This ordering has no specific start or end point.

The diagrams are supported with mathematical definitions where the vertices (v) and primitives (p) are numbered starting from 0; v0 is the first vertex in the provided data and p0 is the first primitive in the set of primitives defined by the vertices and topology.

VK_POLYGON_MODE_FILL, VK_POLYGON_MODE_LINE, VK_POLYGON_MODE_POINT

VkPolygonMode - Control polygon rasterization mode

Description

• POLYGON_MODE_POINT specifies that polygon vertices are drawn as points.
• POLYGON_MODE_LINE specifies that polygon edges are drawn as line segments.
• POLYGON_MODE_FILL specifies that polygons are rendered using the polygon rasterization rules in this section.
• POLYGON_MODE_FILL_RECTANGLE_NV specifies that polygons are rendered using polygon rasterization rules, modified to consider a sample within the primitive if the sample location is inside the axis-aligned bounding box of the triangle after projection. Note that the barycentric weights used in attribute interpolation can extend outside the range [0,1] when these primitives are shaded. Special treatment is given to a sample position on the boundary edge of the bounding box. In such a case, if two rectangles lie on either side of a common edge (with identical endpoints) on which a sample position lies, then exactly one of the triangles must produce a fragment that covers that sample during rasterization. Polygons rendered in POLYGON_MODE_FILL_RECTANGLE_NV mode may be clipped by the frustum or by user clip planes. If clipping is applied, the triangle is culled rather than clipped.

  Area calculation and facingness are determined for POLYGON_MODE_FILL_RECTANGLE_NV mode using the triangle's vertices.

These modes affect only the final rasterization of polygons: in particular, a polygon's vertices are shaded and the polygon is clipped and possibly culled before these modes are applied.

VkStencilOp - Stencil comparison function

Description

• STENCIL_OP_KEEP keeps the current value.
• STENCIL_OP_ZERO sets the value to 0.
• STENCIL_OP_REPLACE sets the value to reference.
• STENCIL_OP_INCREMENT_AND_CLAMP increments the current value and clamps to the maximum representable unsigned value.
• STENCIL_OP_DECREMENT_AND_CLAMP decrements the current value and clamps to 0.
• STENCIL_OP_INVERT bitwise-inverts the current value.
• STENCIL_OP_INCREMENT_AND_WRAP increments the current value and wraps to 0 when the maximum value would have been exceeded.
• STENCIL_OP_DECREMENT_AND_WRAP decrements the current value and wraps to the maximum possible value when the value would go below 0.

For purposes of increment and decrement, the stencil bits are considered as an unsigned integer.

If the stencil test fails, the sample's coverage bit is cleared in the fragment. If there is no stencil framebuffer attachment, stencil modification cannot occur, and it is as if the stencil tests always pass.

If the stencil test passes, the writeMask member of the VkStencilOpState structures controls how the updated stencil value is written to the stencil framebuffer attachment.

The least significant s bits of writeMask, where s is the number of bits in the stencil framebuffer attachment, specify an integer mask. Where a 1 appears in this mask, the corresponding bit in the stencil value in the depth/stencil attachment is written; where a 0 appears, the bit is not written. The writeMask value uses either the front-facing or back-facing state based on the facingness of the fragment. Fragments generated by front-facing primitives use the front mask and fragments generated by back-facing primitives use the back mask.

VkBlendOp - Framebuffer blending operations

Description

The semantics of each basic blend operations is described in the table below:

Basic Blend Operations

VkBlendOp	RGB Components	Alpha Component
BLEND_OP_ADD	R = Rs0 × Sr + Rd × Dr G = Gs0 × Sg + Gd × Dg B = Bs0 × Sb + Bd × Db	A = As0 × Sa + Ad × Da
BLEND_OP_SUBTRACT	R = Rs0 × Sr - Rd × Dr G = Gs0 × Sg - Gd × Dg B = Bs0 × Sb - Bd × Db	A = As0 × Sa - Ad × Da
BLEND_OP_REVERSE_SUBTRACT	R = Rd × Dr - Rs0 × Sr G = Gd × Dg - Gs0 × Sg B = Bd × Db - Bs0 × Sb	A = Ad × Da - As0 × Sa
BLEND_OP_MIN	R = min(Rs0,Rd) G = min(Gs0,Gd) B = min(Bs0,Bd)	A = min(As0,Ad)
BLEND_OP_MAX	R = max(Rs0,Rd) G = max(Gs0,Gd) B = max(Bs0,Bd)	A = max(As0,Ad)

In this table, the following conventions are used:

• Rs0, Gs0, Bs0 and As0 represent the first source color R, G, B, and A components, respectively.
• Rd, Gd, Bd and Ad represent the R, G, B, and A components of the destination color. That is, the color currently in the corresponding color attachment for this fragment/sample.
• Sr, Sg, Sb and Sa represent the source blend factor R, G, B, and A components, respectively.
• Dr, Dg, Db and Da represent the destination blend factor R, G, B, and A components, respectively.

The blending operation produces a new set of values R, G, B and A, which are written to the framebuffer attachment. If blending is not enabled for this attachment, then R, G, B and A are assigned Rs0, Gs0, Bs0 and As0, respectively.

If the color attachment is fixed-point, the components of the source and destination values and blend factors are each clamped to [0,1] or [-1,1] respectively for an unsigned normalized or signed normalized color attachment prior to evaluating the blend operations. If the color attachment is floating-point, no clamping occurs.

Certain access types are only performed by a subset of pipeline stages. Any synchronization command that takes both stage masks and access masks uses both to define the access scopes - only the specified access types performed by the specified stages are included in the access scope. An application must not specify an access flag in a synchronization command if it does not include a pipeline stage in the corresponding stage mask that is able to perform accesses of that type. The following table lists, for each access flag, which pipeline stages can perform that type of access.

If a memory object does not have the MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_COHERENT_BIT property, then FlushMappedMemoryRanges must be called in order to guarantee that writes to the memory object from the host are made available to the host domain, where they can be further made available to the device domain via a domain operation. Similarly, InvalidateMappedMemoryRanges must be called to guarantee that writes which are available to the host domain are made visible to host operations.

If the memory object does have the MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_COHERENT_BIT property flag, writes to the memory object from the host are automatically made available to the host domain. Similarly, writes made available to the host domain are automatically made visible to the host.

Note

The QueueSubmit command automatically performs a domain operation from host to device for all writes performed before the command executes, so in most cases an explicit memory barrier is not needed for this case. In the few circumstances where a submit does not occur between the host write and the device read access, writes can be made available by using an explicit memory barrier.

nvkCreateInstance

public static int nvkCreateInstance(long pCreateInfo,
                                    long pAllocator,
                                    long pInstance)

Unsafe version of: CreateInstance

vkCreateInstance

public static int vkCreateInstance(VkInstanceCreateInfo pCreateInfo,
                                   @Nullable
                                   VkAllocationCallbacks pAllocator,
                                   PointerBuffer pInstance)

Create a new Vulkan instance.

C Specification

To create an instance object, call:

 VkResult vkCreateInstance(
     const VkInstanceCreateInfo*                 pCreateInfo,
     const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
     VkInstance*                                 pInstance);

Description

vkCreateInstance verifies that the requested layers exist. If not, vkCreateInstance will return ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT. Next vkCreateInstance verifies that the requested extensions are supported (e.g. in the implementation or in any enabled instance layer) and if any requested extension is not supported, vkCreateInstance must return ERROR_EXTENSION_NOT_PRESENT. After verifying and enabling the instance layers and extensions the VkInstance object is created and returned to the application. If a requested extension is only supported by a layer, both the layer and the extension need to be specified at vkCreateInstance time for the creation to succeed.

Valid Usage

• All required extensions for each extension in the VkInstanceCreateInfo::ppEnabledExtensionNames list must also be present in that list.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkInstanceCreateInfo structure
• If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure
• pInstance must be a valid pointer to a VkInstance handle

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

Enumerates the physical devices accessible to a Vulkan instance.

C Specification

To retrieve a list of physical device objects representing the physical devices installed in the system, call:

 VkResult vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices(
     VkInstance                                  instance,
     uint32_t*                                   pPhysicalDeviceCount,

Description

If pPhysicalDevices is NULL, then the number of physical devices available is returned in pPhysicalDeviceCount. Otherwise, pPhysicalDeviceCount must point to a variable set by the user to the number of elements in the pPhysicalDevices array, and on return the variable is overwritten with the number of handles actually written to pPhysicalDevices. If pPhysicalDeviceCount is less than the number of physical devices available, at most pPhysicalDeviceCount structures will be written. If pPhysicalDeviceCount is smaller than the number of physical devices available, INCOMPLETE will be returned instead of SUCCESS, to indicate that not all the available physical devices were returned.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• instance must be a valid VkInstance handle
• pPhysicalDeviceCount must be a valid pointer to a uint32_t value
• If the value referenced by pPhysicalDeviceCount is not 0, and pPhysicalDevices is not NULL, pPhysicalDevices must be a valid pointer to an array of pPhysicalDeviceCount VkPhysicalDevice handles

Lists physical device's image format capabilities.

C Specification

To query additional capabilities specific to image types, call:

 VkResult vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties(
     VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
     VkFormat                                    format,
     VkImageType                                 type,
     VkImageTiling                               tiling,
     VkImageUsageFlags                           usage,
     VkImageCreateFlags                          flags,
     VkImageFormatProperties*                    pImageFormatProperties);

Description

The format, type, tiling, usage, and flags parameters correspond to parameters that would be consumed by CreateImage (as members of VkImageCreateInfo).

If format is not a supported image format, or if the combination of format, type, tiling, usage, and flags is not supported for images, then vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties returns ERROR_FORMAT_NOT_SUPPORTED.

The limitations on an image format that are reported by vkGetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties have the following property: if usage1 and usage2 of type VkImageUsageFlags are such that the bits set in usage1 are a subset of the bits set in usage2, and flags1 and flags2 of type VkImageCreateFlags are such that the bits set in flags1 are a subset of the bits set in flags2, then the limitations for usage1 and flags1 must be no more strict than the limitations for usage2 and flags2, for all values of format, type, and tiling.

Valid Usage

• tiling must not be IMAGE_TILING_DRM_FORMAT_MODIFIER_EXT. (Use GetPhysicalDeviceImageFormatProperties2 instead).

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• physicalDevice must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle
• format must be a valid VkFormat value
• type must be a valid VkImageType value
• tiling must be a valid VkImageTiling value
• usage must be a valid combination of VkImageUsageFlagBits values
• usage must not be 0
• flags must be a valid combination of VkImageCreateFlagBits values
• pImageFormatProperties must be a valid pointer to a VkImageFormatProperties structure

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

• SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

• ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY
• ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
• ERROR_FORMAT_NOT_SUPPORTED

Reports properties of the queues of the specified physical device.

C Specification

To query properties of queues available on a physical device, call:

 void vkGetPhysicalDeviceQueueFamilyProperties(
     VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,

     VkQueueFamilyProperties*                    pQueueFamilyProperties);

Description

If pQueueFamilyProperties is NULL, then the number of queue families available is returned in pQueueFamilyPropertyCount. Implementations must support at least one queue family. Otherwise, pQueueFamilyPropertyCount must point to a variable set by the user to the number of elements in the pQueueFamilyProperties array, and on return the variable is overwritten with the number of structures actually written to pQueueFamilyProperties. If pQueueFamilyPropertyCount is less than the number of queue families available, at most pQueueFamilyPropertyCount structures will be written.

Unsafe version of: GetInstanceProcAddr

vkGetInstanceProcAddr

public static long vkGetInstanceProcAddr(VkInstance instance,
                                         java.nio.ByteBuffer pName)

public static long vkGetInstanceProcAddr(VkInstance instance,
                                         java.lang.CharSequence pName)

Return a function pointer for a command.

C Specification

Function pointers for all Vulkan commands can be obtained with the command:

 PFN_vkVoidFunction vkGetInstanceProcAddr(
     VkInstance                                  instance,
     const char*                                 pName);

Description

vkGetInstanceProcAddr itself is obtained in a platform- and loader- specific manner. Typically, the loader library will export this command as a function symbol, so applications can link against the loader library, or load it dynamically and look up the symbol using platform-specific APIs.

The table below defines the various use cases for vkGetInstanceProcAddr and expected return value ("fp" is "function pointer") for each case.

The returned function pointer is of type PFN_vkVoidFunction, and must be cast to the type of the command being queried.

vkGetInstanceProcAddr behavior

instance	pName	return value
*1	NULL	undefined
invalid non-NULL instance	*1	undefined
NULL	EnumerateInstanceVersion	fp
NULL	EnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties	fp
NULL	EnumerateInstanceLayerProperties	fp
NULL	CreateInstance	fp
instance	core Vulkan command	fp2
instance	enabled instance extension commands for instance	fp2
instance	available device extension3 commands for instance	fp2
any other case, not covered above	NULL

1

"*" means any representable value for the parameter (including valid values, invalid values, and NULL).

2

The returned function pointer must only be called with a dispatchable object (the first parameter) that is instance or a child of instance, e.g. VkInstance, VkPhysicalDevice, VkDevice, VkQueue, or VkCommandBuffer.

3

An “available device extension” is a device extension supported by any physical device enumerated by instance.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• If instance is not NULL, instance must be a valid VkInstance handle
• pName must be a null-terminated UTF-8 string

See Also

PFN_vkVoidFunction

Parameters:

instance - the instance that the function pointer will be compatible with, or NULL for commands not dependent on any instance.

pName - the name of the command to obtain.

nvkGetDeviceProcAddr

vkGetDeviceProcAddr

public static long vkGetDeviceProcAddr(VkDevice device,
                                       java.nio.ByteBuffer pName)

public static long vkGetDeviceProcAddr(VkDevice device,
                                       java.lang.CharSequence pName)

Return a function pointer for a command.

C Specification

In order to support systems with multiple Vulkan implementations, the function pointers returned by vkGetInstanceProcAddr may point to dispatch code that calls a different real implementation for different VkDevice objects or their child objects. The overhead of the internal dispatch for VkDevice objects can be avoided by obtaining device-specific function pointers for any commands that use a device or device-child object as their dispatchable object. Such function pointers can be obtained with the command:

 PFN_vkVoidFunction vkGetDeviceProcAddr(
     VkDevice                                    device,
     const char*                                 pName);

Description

The returned function pointer is of type PFN_vkVoidFunction, and must be cast to the type of the command being queried. The function pointer must only be called with a dispatchable object (the first parameter) that is device or a child of device.

vkGetDeviceProcAddr behavior

device	pName	return value
NULL	*<1>	undefined
invalid device	*<1>	undefined
device	NULL	undefined
device	core device-level Vulkan command	fp2
device	enabled device extension device-level commands	fp2
any other case, not covered above	NULL

1

"*" means any representable value for the parameter (including valid values, invalid values, and NULL).

2

The returned function pointer must only be called with a dispatchable object (the first parameter) that is device or a child of device e.g. VkDevice, VkQueue, or VkCommandBuffer.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• device must be a valid VkDevice handle
• pName must be a null-terminated UTF-8 string

                                 VkAllocationCallbacks pAllocator,
                                 PointerBuffer pDevice)

Create a new device instance.

C Specification

A logical device is created as a connection to a physical device. To create a logical device, call:

 VkResult vkCreateDevice(
     VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
     const VkDeviceCreateInfo*                   pCreateInfo,
     const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
     VkDevice*                                   pDevice);

Description

vkCreateDevice verifies that extensions and features requested in the ppEnabledExtensionNames and pEnabledFeatures members of pCreateInfo, respectively, are supported by the implementation. If any requested extension is not supported, vkCreateDevice must return ERROR_EXTENSION_NOT_PRESENT. If any requested feature is not supported, vkCreateDevice must return ERROR_FEATURE_NOT_PRESENT. Support for extensions can be checked before creating a device by querying EnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties. Support for features can similarly be checked by querying GetPhysicalDeviceFeatures.

After verifying and enabling the extensions the VkDevice object is created and returned to the application. If a requested extension is only supported by a layer, both the layer and the extension need to be specified at vkCreateInstance time for the creation to succeed.

Multiple logical devices can be created from the same physical device. Logical device creation may fail due to lack of device-specific resources (in addition to the other errors). If that occurs, vkCreateDevice will return ERROR_TOO_MANY_OBJECTS.

Valid Usage

• All required extensions for each extension in the VkDeviceCreateInfo::ppEnabledExtensionNames list must also be present in that list.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• physicalDevice must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle
• pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkDeviceCreateInfo structure
• If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure
• pDevice must be a valid pointer to a VkDevice handle

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

• SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

• ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY
• ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
• ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
• ERROR_EXTENSION_NOT_PRESENT
• ERROR_FEATURE_NOT_PRESENT
• ERROR_TOO_MANY_OBJECTS
• ERROR_DEVICE_LOST

VkAllocationCallbacks, VkDeviceCreateInfo

Parameters:

physicalDevice - must be one of the device handles returned from a call to vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices (see Physical Device Enumeration).

pCreateInfo - a pointer to a VkDeviceCreateInfo structure containing information about how to create the device.

pAllocator - controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

pDevice - points to a handle in which the created VkDevice is returned.

vkDestroyDevice

public static void vkDestroyDevice(VkDevice device,
                                   @Nullable
                                   VkAllocationCallbacks pAllocator)

Destroy a logical device.

C Specification

To destroy a device, call:

 void vkDestroyDevice(
     VkDevice                                    device,
     const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator);

Description

To ensure that no work is active on the device, DeviceWaitIdle can be used to gate the destruction of the device. Prior to destroying a device, an application is responsible for destroying/freeing any Vulkan objects that were created using that device as the first parameter of the corresponding vkCreate* or vkAllocate* command.

Note

The lifetime of each of these objects is bound by the lifetime of the VkDevice object. Therefore, to avoid resource leaks, it is critical that an application explicitly free all of these resources prior to calling vkDestroyDevice.

Valid Usage

• All child objects created on device must have been destroyed prior to destroying device
• If VkAllocationCallbacks were provided when device was created, a compatible set of callbacks must be provided here
• If no VkAllocationCallbacks were provided when device was created, pAllocator must be NULL

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• If device is not NULL, device must be a valid VkDevice handle
• If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

Host Synchronization

• Host access to device must be externally synchronized

Parameters:

device - the logical device to destroy.

pAllocator - controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties

public static int vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties(@Nullable
                                                         java.nio.ByteBuffer pLayerName,

public static int vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties(@Nullable
                                                         java.lang.CharSequence pLayerName,
                                                         java.nio.IntBuffer pPropertyCount,
                                                         @Nullable
                                                         VkExtensionProperties.Buffer pProperties)

Returns up to requested number of global extension properties.

C Specification

To query the available instance extensions, call:

 VkResult vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties(
     const char*                                 pLayerName,
     uint32_t*                                   pPropertyCount,
     VkExtensionProperties*                      pProperties);

Description

When pLayerName parameter is NULL, only extensions provided by the Vulkan implementation or by implicitly enabled layers are returned. When pLayerName is the name of a layer, the instance extensions provided by that layer are returned.

If pProperties is NULL, then the number of extensions properties available is returned in pPropertyCount. Otherwise, pPropertyCount must point to a variable set by the user to the number of elements in the pProperties array, and on return the variable is overwritten with the number of structures actually written to pProperties. If pPropertyCount is less than the number of extension properties available, at most pPropertyCount structures will be written. If pPropertyCount is smaller than the number of extensions available, INCOMPLETE will be returned instead of SUCCESS, to indicate that not all the available properties were returned.

Because the list of available layers may change externally between calls to EnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties, two calls may retrieve different results if a pLayerName is available in one call but not in another. The extensions supported by a layer may also change between two calls, e.g. if the layer implementation is replaced by a different version between those calls.

Implementations must not advertise any pair of extensions that cannot be enabled together due to behavioral differences, or any extension that cannot be enabled against the advertised version.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• If pLayerName is not NULL, pLayerName must be a null-terminated UTF-8 string
• pPropertyCount must be a valid pointer to a uint32_t value
• If the value referenced by pPropertyCount is not 0, and pProperties is not NULL, pProperties must be a valid pointer to an array of pPropertyCount VkExtensionProperties structures

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

• SUCCESS
• INCOMPLETE

On failure, this command returns

• ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY
• ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
• ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT

                                                       VkExtensionProperties.Buffer pProperties)

Returns properties of available physical device extensions.

C Specification

To query the extensions available to a given physical device, call:

 VkResult vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties(
     VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
     const char*                                 pLayerName,
     uint32_t*                                   pPropertyCount,
     VkExtensionProperties*                      pProperties);

Description

When pLayerName parameter is NULL, only extensions provided by the Vulkan implementation or by implicitly enabled layers are returned. When pLayerName is the name of a layer, the device extensions provided by that layer are returned.

Implementations must not advertise any pair of extensions that cannot be enabled together due to behavioral differences, or any extension that cannot be enabled against the advertised version.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• physicalDevice must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle
• If pLayerName is not NULL, pLayerName must be a null-terminated UTF-8 string
• pPropertyCount must be a valid pointer to a uint32_t value
• If the value referenced by pPropertyCount is not 0, and pProperties is not NULL, pProperties must be a valid pointer to an array of pPropertyCount VkExtensionProperties structures

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

• SUCCESS
• INCOMPLETE

On failure, this command returns

• ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY
• ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY
• ERROR_LAYER_NOT_PRESENT

VkExtensionProperties

Parameters:

physicalDevice - the physical device that will be queried.

pLayerName - either NULL or a pointer to a null-terminated UTF-8 string naming the layer to retrieve extensions from.

pPropertyCount - a pointer to an integer related to the number of extension properties available or queried, and is treated in the same fashion as the EnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties::pPropertyCount parameter.

pProperties - either NULL or a pointer to an array of VkExtensionProperties structures.

nvkEnumerateInstanceLayerProperties

public static int nvkEnumerateInstanceLayerProperties(long pPropertyCount,
                                                      long pProperties)

Unsafe version of: EnumerateInstanceLayerProperties

Parameters:

pPropertyCount - a pointer to an integer related to the number of layer properties available or queried, as described below.

vkEnumerateInstanceLayerProperties

public static int vkEnumerateInstanceLayerProperties(java.nio.IntBuffer pPropertyCount,
                                                     @Nullable
                                                     VkLayerProperties.Buffer pProperties)

Returns up to requested number of global layer properties.

C Specification

To query the available layers, call:

 VkResult vkEnumerateInstanceLayerProperties(
     uint32_t*                                   pPropertyCount,
     VkLayerProperties*                          pProperties);

Description

If pProperties is NULL, then the number of layer properties available is returned in pPropertyCount. Otherwise, pPropertyCount must point to a variable set by the user to the number of elements in the pProperties array, and on return the variable is overwritten with the number of structures actually written to pProperties. If pPropertyCount is less than the number of layer properties available, at most pPropertyCount structures will be written. If pPropertyCount is smaller than the number of layers available, INCOMPLETE will be returned instead of SUCCESS, to indicate that not all the available layer properties were returned.

The list of available layers may change at any time due to actions outside of the Vulkan implementation, so two calls to vkEnumerateInstanceLayerProperties with the same parameters may return different results, or retrieve different pPropertyCount values or pProperties contents. Once an instance has been created, the layers enabled for that instance will continue to be enabled and valid for the lifetime of that instance, even if some of them become unavailable for future instances.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• pPropertyCount must be a valid pointer to a uint32_t value
• If the value referenced by pPropertyCount is not 0, and pProperties is not NULL, pProperties must be a valid pointer to an array of pPropertyCount VkLayerProperties structures

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

• SUCCESS
• INCOMPLETE

On failure, this command returns

• ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY
• ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY

C Specification

To enumerate device layers, call:

 VkResult vkEnumerateDeviceLayerProperties(
     VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
     uint32_t*                                   pPropertyCount,
     VkLayerProperties*                          pProperties);

Description

If pProperties is NULL, then the number of layer properties available is returned in pPropertyCount. Otherwise, pPropertyCount must point to a variable set by the user to the number of elements in the pProperties array, and on return the variable is overwritten with the number of structures actually written to pProperties. If pPropertyCount is less than the number of layer properties available, at most pPropertyCount structures will be written. If pPropertyCount is smaller than the number of layers available, INCOMPLETE will be returned instead of SUCCESS, to indicate that not all the available layer properties were returned.

Get a queue handle from a device.

C Specification

To retrieve a handle to a VkQueue object, call:

 void vkGetDeviceQueue(
     VkDevice                                    device,
     uint32_t                                    queueFamilyIndex,

• queueIndex must be less than the number of queues created for the specified queue family index when device was created, via the queueCount member of the VkDeviceQueueCreateInfo structure
• VkDeviceQueueCreateInfo::flags must have been set to zero when device was created

Valid Usage (Implicit)

• device must be a valid VkDevice handle
• pQueue must be a valid pointer to a VkQueue handle

Parameters:

device - the logical device that owns the queue.

queueFamilyIndex - the index of the queue family to which the queue belongs.

queueIndex - the index within this queue family of the queue to retrieve.

pQueue - a pointer to a VkQueue object that will be filled with the handle for the requested queue.

vkQueueSubmit

public static int vkQueueSubmit(VkQueue queue,
                                @Nullable
                                VkSubmitInfo.Buffer pSubmits,
                                long fence)

Submits a sequence of semaphores or command buffers to a queue.

C Specification

To submit command buffers to a queue, call:

 VkResult vkQueueSubmit(
     VkQueue                                     queue,
     uint32_t                                    submitCount,
     const VkSubmitInfo*                         pSubmits,
     VkFence                                     fence);

Description

Note

Submission can be a high overhead operation, and applications should attempt to batch work together into as few calls to vkQueueSubmit as possible.

vkQueueSubmit is a queue submission command, with each batch defined by an element of pSubmits as an instance of the VkSubmitInfo structure. Batches begin execution in the order they appear in pSubmits, but may complete out of order.

Fence and semaphore operations submitted with QueueSubmit have additional ordering constraints compared to other submission commands, with dependencies involving previous and subsequent queue operations. Information about these additional constraints can be found in the semaphore and fence sections of the synchronization chapter.

Details on the interaction of pWaitDstStageMask with synchronization are described in the semaphore wait operation section of the synchronization chapter.

The order that batches appear in pSubmits is used to determine submission order, and thus all the implicit ordering guarantees that respect it. Other than these implicit ordering guarantees and any explicit synchronization primitives, these batches may overlap or otherwise execute out of order.

If any command buffer submitted to this queue is in the executable state, it is moved to the pending state. Once execution of all submissions of a command buffer complete, it moves from the pending state, back to the executable state. If a command buffer was recorded with the COMMAND_BUFFER_USAGE_ONE_TIME_SUBMIT_BIT flag, it instead moves back to the invalid state.

If vkQueueSubmit fails, it may return
